And he waits for tomorrow

Days fade into months Hours on end of waiting And when it’s here Time finds a way to disappear He waits by the door A glimpse of her is everything and more His lips inch up into a smile As her figure appears in the room Her soft laugh makes the wait worth the while But the moment leaves as fast as it came Now all that is left is the view of her back But his smile stays as he turns away For tomorrow is a new day
